   A frameless glass shower enclosure is a beautiful and elegant way to enhance your home, especially if you can keep it looking brand new for years to come.

   While frameless glass shower doors aren’t prone to the same damage and aging from hard water, soap and humidity that regular shower doors are, they still need some TLC.

   Here are four ways to keep them in optimal condition:

   Safeguard Frameless Glass Against Scratches

   Using a squeegee to remove excess water after every shower is an effective way to keep it sparkling. For periodic maintenance of your frameless glass shower doors, use a soft cloth or wet sponge and common household cleaners to avoid the buildup of minerals, scale and soap scum.

   Avoid abrasive cleaners such as Ajax, Comet, rouge and cerium oxide, hydrofluoric and phosphoric acids and abrasive brushes, razor blades and other sharp objects.

   Here’s a list of suggested cleaners to use.

   Protect Your Glass Right from the Start

   While Eclipse Glass frameless glass shower enclosures are durable and easy to clean, we can take your new shower doors to the next level by installing Shower Guard or Clear-Fusion Pro glass.

   This affordable option permanently seals the glass surface so water beads off and you enjoy a shower that stays pristine with minimal cleaning.

   Be Friends with Your Fan

   Don’t forget to turn on the bathroom fan every time you have a shower, as this will prevent water stains and keep mold or mildew from building up within your frameless glass shower enclosure.

   Open the bathroom door and keep the fan on until moisture has left the room – the Home Ventilating Institute recommends leaving it on for at least 20 minutes to minimize humidity, moisture and condensation.

   Go Pro to Keep Leaks Away

   Framed shower doors often have rubber or other seals to bind the doors to the shower wall, which can result in leaks.

   One of the key benefits of frameless glass shower doors is their seamless corner joints and hanging shower and tub doors, which keep water from splashing or leaking.

   However, it’s very important to use a trusted frameless glass installation company. If you look for the cheapest option or attempt a DIY installation, you could end up with a water-logged bathroom.

   We actually guarantee that your glass shower corners will not leak or drip, no matter how high the water pressure is.

   Whether you start your day with an invigorating shower or prefer to wash your hair before bed, you spend a lot of time in this part of the bathroom.

   A frameless glass shower door is a shower door made completely of glass, without a metal frame. These modern shower doors add contemporary elegance to any bathroom and let in much more light than traditional shower doors.

   4 More Reasons to Choose a Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure

   People love the sleek and streamlined look of frameless glass shower doors and their popularity continues to increase. However, there’s much more to these sleek shower doors than just the aesthetics:

   

   They Add Value to Your Home

   Many realtors will tell you that it’s the bathroom and kitchen that sell a home. Whether you choose a corner glass shower or inline shower glass, this is a simple, affordable way to increase the value of your home without having to do a huge renovation.

   The Materials Are Eco-Friendly

   We all have a responsibility to choose sustainable and environmentally-friendly products whenever we can.

   Frameless shower glass is 100% recyclable and is one of the greenest of construction materials since its basic component is silica – sand – which is easily obtainable throughout the world.

   They’re a Breeze to Clean

   Wouldn’t it be nice to stop spending time scrubbing mildew out of your shower tracks? These smooth glass shower doors have a trackless design, so they won’t collect dust and mold.

   Since they don’t contain a metal frame, there is no risk of corrosion or rust, and they typically outlast a framed model.

   They Make Your Bathroom Look Bigger

   Closing off part of your bathroom with traditional shower doors can look clunky and take up precious space.

   Frameless shower doors have an invisible appearance that makes any bathroom seem much more grand and spacious, blending into your décor rather than taking over.

   Whether you’re in a condo or a larger home, a frameless glass shower enclosure can be designed to seamlessly fit your bathroom.

   Enhance the look of your bathroom with an eco-friendly frameless glass shower enclosure, add value to your home and give yourself a break from scrubbing!
